We propose a project in which three artists based in Bristol and one Lochgilphead (Argyll) initiate an open-ended exploratory dialogue around the term ‘encounters’ in order to expand and investigate its meaning and potential for creative and conversational focus.en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.comBlogger12125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-46820793962503945282008-07-04T11:09:00.001+01:002008-07-04T11:09:26.389+01:00Check out my Slide Show!<div><embed src="http://widget-4b.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=360287970207294539&site=widget-4b.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970207294539&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-4b.slide.com/p1/360287970207294539/bb_t056_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970207294539&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-4b.slide.com/p2/360287970207294539/bb_t056_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970207294539&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-4b.slide.com/p4/360287970207294539/bb_t056_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-35275927610002003212008-07-04T09:55:00.003+01:002008-11-13T01:43:21.696+00:00Kis Synegoga<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivMgGViCc8gkJDwXGjIsAuOhvZN4r_oFkqi-2kmG0_0oWOxx4Vi_ISekpBAY7buuWGIojr-UsuoXpkS-ui4ArRDbTEtzBBe35tKV4BUjIz5G6P2E03mvVT6uvqJecvFXANC5LQfsCt3G8p/s1600-h/_DSF0340.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivMgGViCc8gkJDwXGjIsAuOhvZN4r_oFkqi-2kmG0_0oWOxx4Vi_ISekpBAY7buuWGIojr-UsuoXpkS-ui4ArRDbTEtzBBe35tKV4BUjIz5G6P2E03mvVT6uvqJecvFXANC5LQfsCt3G8p/s320/_DSF0340.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219086227247159938" /></a><br />The small synagogue in Eger is where the first en:countering is happening and here is the crew...and the works so far!<br /><br />Also check the galleries own website http://www.kiszsinagoga.hu/en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-68846670098631483742008-07-04T09:46:00.003+01:002008-11-13T01:43:21.830+00:00First collaborative piece!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirErK3sON5oI70RxvLnkFA2oJjPAYqUzlzGWpAdcNKOfHRWuOShr_H999Me5slw0gFWHLn2k92o-XollO-VfIQcO0wI4SJZgEGUIyPU6k3T3E8LC15UIRB-BWufDzfyHyBg0bBtCBjvg5_/s1600-h/_DSF0322.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirErK3sON5oI70RxvLnkFA2oJjPAYqUzlzGWpAdcNKOfHRWuOShr_H999Me5slw0gFWHLn2k92o-XollO-VfIQcO0wI4SJZgEGUIyPU6k3T3E8LC15UIRB-BWufDzfyHyBg0bBtCBjvg5_/s200/_DSF0322.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219079785444691282" /></a><br />This is a piece created by every artist involved in the Eger exhibition last night.

If the ‘gallery’ already knows of suitable local artists or artist groups that might be interested, that would of course be an advantage.<br /><br />En:countering will negotiate with the ‘gallery’ as to how invitations from interested participants will be administered (and how much the ‘gallery’ itself wishes to be involved in the process of selection).<br /><br />En:countering will then organise the project together with the invited artists and arrange with them the hanging and overall presentation of the project in line with the requirements of the ‘gallery’ concerned. At this time, the group will travel to participating countries in plenty of time to curate and present the exhibition in the ‘gallery’.<br /><br />The ‘exhibitions’ are seen as wide ranging and include the showing of works made (wall-based, free-standing and performative covering a broad mix of media) together with a series of four open-ended seminars, each prompted by one of the four initiating artists together with a partner from the host country and each inviting comment/inter-action from an invited audience.<br /><br />The ‘exhibitions’ are to be organised over an intense four-day period and will follow the guidelines below (although preparation work beforehand will be required and making good after the event is similarly necessary): <br /><br />Thurs: opening of show/formal introduction of artists from participating countries<br />Fri: 4 open-dialogue sessions, two during morning/two more in afternoon<br />Sat: show/event continues<br />Sun: show/event continues and closes<br /><br />The open-dialogues will be documented and used as a springboard for further development of the project. Extracts from the documentation will form an integral part of Stage Three of the project (publication of catalogue).<br /><br />En:countering will arrange for the transportation of artworks from Bristol to the ‘gallery’ as well as organising and paying for the transport for each of the four artists. <br /><br />En:countering are self-funded but any administrative assistance or creative input from the gallery would always be a welcome bonus.<br /><br />En:countering are committed to collaboration on every level from simple logistic matters to extended critical dialogue.en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-83023339881060667732008-05-21T19:06:00.000+01:002008-05-21T19:08:27.281+01:00Background and motivation for En:countering.En:countering was conceived with the intention of providing an opportunity for a group of artists from different countries to work on a common theme founded on predetermined concepts but allowing each individual their own voice, their own method of translation and their own distinct interpretation.<br /><br />En:countering was conceived as a platform for facilitation of cultural as well as social exchange and as a project has clear intentions. That said, there is no preconceived outcome as such beyond a series of ‘exhibitions’ a major part of the project being ‘in the making’. The ‘exhibitions’ will be documented and provide evidence of any such exchanges, the encountering, and each will be a springboard for further development of the project.<br /><br />En:countering is seen as a vehicle through which to offer an expanded practice to an extended audience.<br /><br />En:countering is committed to open-ended dialogue and critical analysis as a means of creative development and for the expansion of conceptual and practical work across national and international borders.en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-80659490763117396362008-05-21T18:54:00.001+01:002008-05-21T18:54:18.297+01:00Check out my Slide Show!<div><embed src="http://widget-ab.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=360287970206860203&site=widget-ab.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206860203&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-ab.slide.com/p1/360287970206860203/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206860203&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-ab.slide.com/p2/360287970206860203/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-47245463049074930372008-05-21T18:44:00.001+01:002008-05-21T18:44:53.187+01:00Check out my Slide Show!<div><embed src="http://widget-59.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=360287970206860121&site=widget-59.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206860121&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-59.slide.com/p1/360287970206860121/bb_t063_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206860121&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-59.slide.com/p2/360287970206860121/bb_t063_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-92008461695677331322008-05-21T18:36:00.001+01:002008-05-21T18:36:46.374+01:00Check out my Slide Show!<div><embed src="http://widget-0d.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=360287970206860045&site=widget-0d.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206860045&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-0d.slide.com/p1/360287970206860045/bb_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206860045&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-0d.slide.com/p2/360287970206860045/bb_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811951849523322742.post-35026316671623455212008-05-21T18:15:00.001+01:002008-05-21T18:15:33.316+01:00Check out my Slide Show!<div><embed src="http://widget-50.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=360287970206859856&site=widget-50.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206859856&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-50.slide.com/p1/360287970206859856/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970206859856&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-50.slide.com/p2/360287970206859856/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>en:counteringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986589387602313363noreply@blogger.com0
